Verses of the Senior Monks 2.18

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Two

Kimbila (2nd)

1 In the Park of the East-Raftered Hall

the Sakyan friends,

having given up great wealth,

are happy with the scraps in their bowls.

2 Energetic, resolute,

always staunchly vigorous;

having given up mundane delights,

they enjoy the delights of the Dhamma.
